There should never be any reason to turn the limiter off. If the gains of your songs are adjusted correctly and EQ is used correctly, then the limiter will have no effect on the song.
The limiter is only a 'problem' where the gain of a track has not been adjusted correctly or where the user is purposely excessively boosting the gain and/or EQ.
Auto gain may not always be able to correctly set the gain to normalise to 0dB due to the fact that this is an average over the entire track and some songs have greater dynamic range than others. In these cases, you may need to manually adjust the gain appropriately (This is a once off task and by default will be remembered for the next time you play the song.)
I doubt the development team will add an option to disable the limiter because there is no need or benefit. As already stated, digital audio cannot exceed 0dB and you will just have distortion instead. You may or may not be able to hear this in v7 with the limiter off, but it's there.
NOTE: The limiter was a late addition in v7.4, which is why it's an option. In v8, the audio engine was redesigned from scratch and the limiter is a built-in feature as standard.
NOTE: Most other DJ software also has a limiter for the same reasons. Serato DJ's limiter for example cannot be disabled.
